The Gift
The gift of the day
long-anticipated, anxiously awaited,
prepped and prepared for
contemplated with intense thought and anxiety
beating back, rushing past the crowds,
searching for just the right gift
you well know
the one loved will treasure and remember.
chosen, wrapped, lovingly carded,
special words penned by you
for that special person
held within your heartbeat;
only to see
disappointment on their face
thanking you graciously
while hiding disenchantment and chagrin
with quietly accepted sadness
having desired something better, something more.
Oh well,
there is always next year.
